Survey on IoT Technologies for Home Automation System

Internet of things (IoT) is an emerging technology today that envisions all objects around us as a part of Internet. Automation of the devices, appliances at home and office is having extensive possibility of research with the innovation of technology in communication. Misuse of power energy can be shortened by automating the devices and appliances. Mobile communication is plays a major role in the automation domain. Android phones are designed with applications to automate the required devices. Creating a mobile app on a Smartphone device so that the user can control electronic devices; see the amount of flow, so the problem is the difficulty in saving electricity can be resolved. IoT includes variety of objects like smart phones, tablets, digital cameras and different sensors. When all these devices are connected together, they enable additional smart processes and services that support our basic needs, environment and health. Massive number of devices connected to internet provides enormous kinds of services and also produces huge amount of data and information. Cloud computing is an on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable resources that can be provisioned as infrastructures, software and applications. Cloud based platforms help to connect to the things around us so it is easy to connect any objects anytime at any place using in built applications. Applications that use devices like sensors have unique requirements of enormous storage to store big data and huge computation power to enable the real time processing of the data, information and high speed network is required for audio and video streaming. Wireless technologies like Bluetooth, WiFi, and ZigBee have been used in wide range of applications like modern home security systems using low cost, low power, less complexity RF module.
